We just got a major press release in our hometown of Pottsville, Pennsylvania! Enjoy!
World's Fastest Half Mile Porsche Paint Corrected and Ceramic Pro coated for SEMA 2015
The world's fastest half-mile Porsche entered Detail Boss's doors in need of some major reconditioning. Built by Evolution Motorsports, the 2007 Porsche 997 Twin Turbo is world-renown for going 219.30 MPH in the standing 1/2 mile. Equipped with Evolution Motorsports EVT1700 Package, this German rocket is truly one-of-a-kind. Jeweled to a show-car finish, this racecar became a show-car for the SEMA 2015 show held at the Las Vegas Convention Center.
We started off the process when the car was dropped off to our shop courtesy of our client. We cleaned the exterior, wheels and calipers via hot high pressure steam. We removed all paint protection film from the front of the car which was original from 2007, all vinyl and decals to ensure the paint surface was bare for the next step: paint correction.
Deep Steam-Cleaning Engine Compartment
Our Concours finish paint correction was performed next. This consisted of spot-wet-sanding deep scratches followed by multiple compounding, polishing, and jeweling steps to ensure maximum defect removal and the ultimate shine. Upon reaching the final stages, it was particularly important to stress the delicate fashion in which way we wiped off the polish, as well as the type of microfiber towel used to prevent any towel-scratching or marring to Porsche's notoriously soft paint. We also 3 stage paint corrected the door jambs to remove imperfections.

Upon completion, we installed 3 layers of Ceramic Pro 9H, and 1 layer of Light to all exterior painted surfaces. We also coated the HRE wheels with Ceramic Pro Wheel & Caliper.
Hauled in an enclosed trailer to Las Vegas Nevada, heads turned and cameras came out as the world-record Porsche was started and pulled into the Flex Tools booth inside the convention center for the world to see. We wanted to prove that a race car can be a show car. Our client's EVT1700 Porsche 997 built by Evolution Motorsports did just that. Sit back, grab some popcorn, and enjoy the video showcasing this beautiful transformation.

Mclaren 650S Detailed/Coated to Perfection + Ceramic Pro
With a 3.8L Twin Turbo V8 pushing 641 horsepower, the Mclaren 650S is one hell of a beast packed into its small body and frame. Starting at a base price of $265,500 for the coupe version, this bad-ass British super-car can be yours!
Although we can't call this one ours, a little piece of us has been left on this gorgeous 2015 Mclaren 650S Convertible in Volcano Red.
The client took delivery of the car and immediately scheduled his appointment with us. Having his Maserati and Ferrari 458 paint corrected and coated by us in the past, he knew his 650S was lacking the luster a brand new car should possess.
We prepped the paint by doing a thorough wash, clay-bar, and taped rubber trim to prevent compound and polish from marring the finish of these sensitive areas. From there, we examined and assessed the trouble areas of the vehicle, and performed several test spots to ensure the proper procedure is performed. We do this to confirm the best combination of pads, compounds and polishes are used to yield maximum gloss and perfection potential.
Post-detail, we rid the car of any dust from compounding or polishing, as well as strip any oils left on the surface to prepare the paint for Ceramic Pro. For more about what Ceramic Pro is, visit our Ceramic Pro Page here
We installed the Ceramic Pro Silver Package on the exterior, which includes 1 layer of 9H and 1 layer of Light. Not only does CP protect the surface, but it adds a deep, lustrous shine that truly comes second to none. Schedule your Ceramic Pro experience with us today.
